You've sort of put your finger on a missed opportunity in motor vehicle #marketing.

Instead of all vehicle manufacturers having the current lot of samey weird advertisements where unicorns chase them down the streets in camera drone shots whilst children shout 'Play Peppa Pig at max volume!' at the computer from the rear seats and it suddenly does, there's a niche for a manufacturer to be disruptive …

… and run an #advertising campaign where they simply show that *their* cars have proper door handles, physical control knobs that don't need one to keep reading a screen away from looking at the road, and where a 5 year old cannot cause a motorway pile-up with 'Hey Google! Emergency stop!'.

It's a product differentiator. The marketers could use it.

Has anyone noticed that central locking offers a minor convenience we could easily do without, at the cost of massive headaches when it inevitably starts going wrong?

It's so hard to fix properly, so it works reliably across all doors. How did it ever become so ubiquitous? Did nobody notice the problems when it was introduced into high end vehicles?

Dumbass YouTubers.

If you would stop thinking about #MotorVehicles as status objects which need to travel at high speeds for long distances, and start thinking of them as utilitarian #transportation devices, you will realize that everything that is wrong with the motor vehicle industry is the assumption that every vehicle needs to be able to travel 100+ mph for 300+ miles on a single tank/charge. Try to remember that the most popular motor vehicle in the world is STILL the Honda Super Cub.

You don’t see many of these in the UK. A 57 Plymouth I believe, but with harsh sodium street lights I’m not sure if it was yellow or white. I’m sure I remember reading most left the factory in white, but thankfully it wasn’t red and driving itself…

Alongside enforcing the #MotorVehicles Act, there's a dire need to ensure pedestrian discipline, particularly to curb #JWalking.

It's *that* we *can* go so far, so fast, with so much cargo in #MotorVehicles that has allowed us, and even *caused* us, to build our built #environment, our #architecture and city #planning, the way we have, to expect and demand large swaths of private real estate and ubiquitous high speed #roadways.

#Technology cannot rescue us from the problems we created by poor decision making. Only the will to regulate can do that. We must withdraw the horizon to a shorter radius for private #transport.

In the US, we already have the #infrastructure to support this. Many jurisdictions already permit operation of #NEVs (neighborhood electric vehicles) without licensure, and of course we already have the #streets.

It's just that we're stuck in this# highway speeds/long distances/huge capacities model of personal #transport.

It's the speed and the distance, primarily, that have made #MotorVehicles the monsters they have become.

It doesn't require a tech fix, just #regulation.
